Felipe Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 This man is beyond inspiring. Every year he add to his career becomes more and more impressing.Thanks to him it's clear now, age is not an excuse.February 2011 footageYKzDd000iIo X_5Jji9_au0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azero Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 He said in an interview(in Bulgarian) that he's thinking about OG 2012(He will be 39 years old). Jovtchev also said that it is getting harder and harder to keep on the strength requirements for the rings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razz Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Damn that is frikkin impressive. Slighty short holds on rings but can't blame him, he is doing some hard stuff still. Truly hope to see him in 2012 olympics! That'd just be phenomenal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Libke Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Being about his same age, I definitely am inspired by him! I have to say, coming up on 40, I feel as strong, if not stronger, than I did 20 years ago. I have not had anywhere near the wear and tear as a competitive gymnast though, and I know that I don't have the same powers of recovery as I did when I was younger, nor the capacity for volume. Still, I attribute the greater strength to better nutrition and smarter training. And, of course, better quality training, such as has been provided by Coach Summer's BTGB progarm. I hope Mr. Jovtchev does go to London. And also returns to Sasuke/Ninja Warrior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gain in core strenght was amazingly beneficial to kicks etc and I got hooked. Don't know why, I also went naturally to the rings. Now I dream about iron crosses and ring handstands And I continue to progress (full BL first, full FL very rencently, wide MU, press handstand, nearly V-sit etc) !! Mainly thanks to this site... The volume is harder to keep along with intensity and the pace changes during training, but recovery is still ok for me.And just like you, I AM stronger than I was 15 years ago (got proofs ).I sense I just have to keep it easy with planche (only SST here) along with lots of prehab and rear / external rotation work. Just like everyone else :wink: Familly charges and tiring days may be, but definitly, age is not an excuse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
